    There are 32 teams and Araiza isn't playing for one of them.

     

    What is keeping him out of the NFL?

     

    I thought his name was cleared. I say sign him.

    Civil suit still pending 

  2. Here's one that that almost made the list. 3 weeks ago, under 10 minutes left in the game, up 24-10 against the Bucs and people are leaving the game in droves. I'm shouting "what is it about being a Bills fan makes you think this game is over?" Thankfully the last pass fell harmlessly to the ground or we'd have to add "Hail Mayfield" to the list.

  3. re women living longer - Women have always had a longer life expectancy, at least since that data has been collected. Honestly they're just stronger. Why do you think God chose them to bear children.

    re other countries have longer life expectancies - With all the fast and processed food we consume in this country combined with sedentary jobs and lifestyles it would be a surprise if other countries didn't have longer life expectancies.

    If this continues this season it’s time for McDermott to be fired. 

    I mean, 2 years ago we can't hold on for 13 seconds. Last year give up a touchdown while trying to execute victory formation kneel down, which would have given us home field advantage, facing the winner of the chiefs/bengals game instead of the chiefs facing the winner of bills/bengals. This year we don't have the correct personnel on the field after 2 timeouts when it was clear the other team was just taking a knee setting up for a field goal. At what point do you put the blame on the head coach.

    Definitely one of the worst vibes at the Ralph. More weird plays than I’ve ever seen in one game. But, how on EARTH, does an incomplete pass get turned into forward progress first down? Anyone?

    Just another example of the horrendous use of replay by this regime. Too many plays like this one go unchallenged. The one time McDermott chose to challenge was last week on an incompletion that had no chance of being overturned to a catch.

    Where have you seen that?  It would put the Bills up there with Major Cities.  I can't believe that's going to happen

    Most of what I found on the interwebs suggest licensing fee will be between $500 for nose bleeds (like my seats) up to $16,500 for premium seats. Didn't see anything that said 18K.

    I agree with that. In the last 6 months of her life, my mom at about 6 PM would ask to go home.  

    If we told her she  owned the house she was in and had owned it for 60 years, she got mad  and started yelling she wanted to go home (meaning her childhood home, which they sold when my grandfather died in 1983). We would tell her it was too late  in the day to take her there and we would do it first thing in the morning.  Next day, was like that never happened.Had to do that day after day.

    She would be asleep and suddenly hear her talking. Having total conversations  with the seven  siblings that preceded her, her parents, and her sister that was still alive (who died  about 3 months after she did).

     

    You're probably aware,  this is called sundowning. Almost the exact same with both my parents (both of whom lived past 100)

    If so, why has no other team sought his services--he is a free agent?

    His civil trial is still pending.  No one's signing him before it's over.

    I didn't think much of it at the time but damn that had an impact.  Harty and sherfield just don't have the same skillset.  

     

    1.   Have we even tried a jet sweep or the motion of jet sweep this year.   That was a big part of the offense with daboll.  Hines was going to be the guy there.  

     

    2.  Our return game is this.  OK.  Don't fumble.  That's it.  We saw shakir literally just fall down last week.  We fair catch everything.  This is am indictment of McDermott being so conservative too. 

     

    This hurt this offense and special teams a lot in hindsight.  

    Re #1 - Tried it 2 or 3 times that I recall, and every time the play was blown up. Understand why we've scrapped it.

    Re #2 - Reminds me of what Wade Phillips said about Chris Watson..."He's more of a punt catcher."

  10. I thought this was going to be a thread about chauvinistic jokes. How many men does it take to do the dishes? None, that's women's work. How many men does it take to change a light bulb? None, if your wife can't change it herself let her do the dishes in the dark. Things of that nature. (now if you'll excuse me I have some dishes to do before it gets dark.)

    I still can't believe nobody has brought up not going for 2 pt conversion when it would have forced Giants to make the PAT if needed. There was no difference of going up 5 or 4 points after that last TD. THe whole thing made absolutely zero sense. 

    I was thinking the same thing and was about to make a new thread on it. It made absolutely zero sense to kick the extra point. At least with a six point lead the giants would have to kick the extra point in less than ideal conditions. No difference between a 4 or 5 point lead with 3:48 remaining. It would be questionable with 8 minutes left, not with under 4.

    It was third down. Your memory is horrific, go watch the video evidence of the play.

     

    The myth of the slide continues to grow. Next it will be Orton slid before the goal line with no time left.

    You are correct, it was third down not 4th, he said he thought it was second down. Shame on me for not watching the play. Didn't mean to upset you.

    Down the French guy and Tre. 
     

    Up steps Von and Elam.

     

    It’s nice to have depth.

    Remember what Marv used to say about depth? It's a great to have, until you need to use it...guess we'll find out tomorrow.

    Unfortunately he played in a very mediocre era for Bills football but he was okay as a QB. But we never see him at Bills games leading the charge or coming back for alumni events. Why is that?

    below is exactly the answer I was thinking about when the question above was asked. The guy expected to come out of retirement and carry a clipboard for a few weeks and get paid 5 million. An offer that was too sweet to refuse. Tried saying that he thought it was second down, which is just as bad as making the slide if true (which I don't believe it is.)

    He played like 14 games.  Also, 3rd down slide against Denver with the playoffs on the line.  He gets as much love as he deserves.

    I just don’t find her pretty.  Throw that outfit on most any perfume girl at Macy’s and they’d probably be hotter.

    Which is absolutely who Kelce (and Josh as well) should be dating. Take a page out of Rory McIlroy's book, date a regular hot chick (actually from my home town) rather than a super star. He was engaged to Caroline Wozniacki but decided marrying a tennis star would be too much. Nothing good happens when you're both traveling to watch each other perform all the time.

  16. Before Gronk and Kelce there was Francis, whom Howard Cosell would always call all-world. Was Daryl Stingley's roommate with the Patriots. Retired in 1980 but Bill Walsh talked him in to coming back and he won a Super Bowl with the San Fran. RIP, like chongli said, tough week for Boston fans. RIP.

  17. re #3 - in addition to the Davis drop, which was as bad as it looked, Knox had a drop in the end zone when Josh had put the ball in a tiny window. Pretty much the only place he could have put it for there to be a catch. Gotta make that catch. Probably didn't look that bad in person, maybe even like the pass was broken up, but It wasn't, it was dropped. Those are the passes that some guy that played for New England, his name escapes me, used to always make - especially against us. 

     

    Great report as always, thanks.
